It doesn’t take long for the field to winnow down, even from a 128-draw.

Only eight men’s singles matches on tap, and most of the seeds have made (exceptions are the not-100 per cent Lorenzo Musetti and the travel-weary Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev).

But a huge Canadian day as Shapovalov taook on Sinner on the stadium court, and FAA met his young protégé Diallo later on.
